Adding Parts to JobCards

Create Estimates & Invoices

One of the biggest advantages of using PartsTech is the ability to add search easily for parts within your network of suppliers. Once you found the right part for your vehicle, add it to your cart. Close the PartsTech session and ARI will prompt you to import those parts right into your current JobCard.

Add Parts to PartsTech Card

Create a new JobCard inside ARI.
Add a Client and a Vehicle (preferably with a valid VIN)
On the JobCard page, scroll down to the Parts & Labor section
– If you are using ARI on a big or mid-sized screen (tablet or PC), then you will see a button called “Order on PartsTech”
– If you use ARI on a small screen (phone), then you have to click the + New Part button first, and then you will see the Order on Partstech button on that page
Once you click the “Order on PartsTech” button, a new window will open inside ARI and load your PartsTech account straight.
Select the Part you want to order and add it to your Basket. DO NOT order them yet. We will do that at a later stage.
Once you’ve added all your items to the basket, click the X (close) button at the bottom of the PartsTech window (screenshot)
ARI will now ask you if you want to import the items from your basket into your JobCard. Select Import, and you should now see your imported items.
Finalize your jobcard by adding a client and vehicle, then click SAVE
You will now see your JobCard page. From here, you can send the estimate to your client, get his approval, etc.

Once you are ready to actually ORDER the parts, go to More then select PartsTech Order.
– the system will load up your previous basket and you can now finalize your order.
– when all done, close the window from the X button at the bottom

Order the Parts

Open the previously created JobCard
go to More (upper right corner)
– click on the PartsTech Order
– the previous session will load up in a new window
click on the PartsTech Cart and then hit the Buy Now button
Close the window and return to ARI

That’s it. Your order will be processed by the supplier you’ve selected and your parts will be delivered to your address.
